but, as Ian pointed out, if the maximum number of columns is

(i.e., 64 characters)
then any 'wrap' that accepts the message block, would have no

with the comment or version lines,

That is not true.  Armor does not allow spaces, so it's essentially a
64 character long "word".  Most editors only break on spaces.  They
won't break words to wrap them.
